Fun-sized candy bars are super fun or not fun at all, depending on who you ask. While some adore the mini sizes and find them adorable, others curse them, wishing they had more.

Regardless of what team you're on, you may have found yourself wondering just how many calories and how much fun is packed into each and every mini candy. Below is a list of these fun-sized candies, ranked by calories, and a caloric equivalent of each sweet mini.

Keep in mind that calories are not bad. Calories are energy. Energy is good. Energy is fun. That means, that if a mini candy bar is high in calories, it is high in energy, and therefore means more fun. So, enjoy!

1 Pack of Smarties = 8 Blueberries

These may not actually make you any smarter, but each tiny roll of Smarties contains 10 calories to fuel your brain. That's roughly the caloric equivalent of eight blueberries.

1 Tootsie Roll = 2 Cups Arugula

Tootsie Rolls: You either love 'em, or you hate 'em. But no matter which way you feel, each mini roll has 11 calories. That's roughly equal to the caloric equivalent of 2 cups of arugula.
